The Cooley Dreamer, and What Is
Said About 1t.

Editors Of NeaUs and Citizen:
We desire to call your readers at
tention to some facts in reference to
milk setting apparatus, and the
amount of milk required for pound
of butter when the Cooley Creamers
are used for raising the cream. To
this end we will let persons using them
speak for themselves. Jared Booth,
Ferrisburgh, writes Aug. 16, 1886
II weighed seven milkings set in the
Cooley Dreamer, beginning July 10,
with the following results: Weight of
milk, GAL pounds; weight of butter,
81 l-2 pounds. This makes an aver
age of one pound of butter to IS
27-100 pounds of milk"
Mr.. III. S. Currier, of MONTGOMERY
Center, writes: "June 10, 1886,
commenced setting the milk in the
Cooley Dreamer for one week; set
1873 pounds, which made 65 pounds
of butter, which is equal to pound
of butter to 81 pounds of milk
Mr.. Gideon Spencer, of Weybridge,
writes, July II, 80: 81 commenced
weighing and setting milk in the
Cooley Creamer July Sd, and contin-
ued until l got the cream from 925
pounds of milk. Upon churning 1
had 40 pounds of butter, which is an
average of pound of butter from
about 20 1-2 pounds of milk. The
weather during this time was very
hot and dry, and the larger part of
my dairy are young COWS, two and
three years DID,"
C. H. Brush, of Fairfax, writes
that he set Abb pounds of milk in
the Cooley Dreamer the first week in
July and made from it 1913 pounds Of
butter. This is equal to one pound
of butter from 20 28-l00 pounds of
milk.
John L. Rowley & Sons, proprie-
tors of the whole milk factory at
Westville Center, N. Y, writes De-
cember IA, 1885, as follows: "We
have used the Cooley Creamers, Davis
Swing Churn, and Eulek Butter
Worker in our factory of from 800 to
400 COWS for four years, and like them
well. We have seen no process that
we liked as we'll. Our average for
the past season was one pound of but
ter from 81 pounds of milk"
The same factory write January
IS, 1887: "The average number of
pounds of milk for pound of butter
for the season of 1886 was p 1-6, as
follows: list sale, from May 10 to
June 10, p IA lbs. I'd sale, from
June 10 to July 27, % pounds; Sd
sale, from July 81 to Sept. 21st, 20
% lbs. 18th sale, from Sept. 1st to
Oct. so, 20 lbs; average of the four
sales, 81 1-6 lbs.
H. P. Bidwell, superintendent of
the Canton, Conn, creamery, writes
July %, 1886, that he has tested
their milk for six days and that the
result shows that they average to
make q pound of butter from Fl l 4
pounds of milk.
H. w. Laid, Superintendent Of
the Mapping, Conn, creamery, says
that test among their patrons shows
that their creamery averages pound
of butter from 81 pounds of milk.
Please bear in mind that these are
not estimates, but actual results from
records. We have quoted from four
dairymen in your section of the State,
one whole milk factory in Franklin
county, N. Y, and two cream gath
ering factories in Connecticut. The
average number of pounds of milk
required at these different places to
make a pound of butter is only 20.63
pounds. Milk factories run on other
systems require the farmers to allow
25 pounds of milk to a pound of but
ter, which is 4.37 lbs. more than the
above Cooley Creamers average. We
ask your readers who are running
diaries, or who propose patronizing
public creameries, if they can afford
to use anything but the Cooley
Creamers? Very respectfully,
VERMONT FARM MACHINE Co.
